    Chijin no ai - Love for an Idiot
    This movie is about Joyji a 31 year old guy. who likes photographing. He meets Naomi that is a younger quite wild woman. He becomes intrigued about as a model. They then start getting closer and closer. After a while Joyji tries to tame Naomi and the conflicts start to arise. (I find it hard to tell more without spoiling what is going on later in the movie)

    When I started watching this movie I was not really sure what to expect. But I think all the actors did well. and well done camera work.

    Who could enjoy this movie.? I would say people that are into movies about difficult romances. There is a fair share of naked bodies in this movie so if that is not your cup of tea then chose something different.

    All in all I think it was a good movie but not a masterpiece. if you like the genre this is absolutely not the worst choice you can make to spend an evening.
